Downtown Los Angeles may not be the first riding destination to many visitors coming to LA and we are ok with that.

Between the modern sky scrapers and mid century architecture, some areas are still a little shady. Sparking the "What the fuck am I doing here?" out of your bearded mouth. Especially after the sun goes down.

But if you know where to go or take the time to wander around you'll start to uncover some of the best things LA has to offer. The flavors and style through the years have now congealed into their own Angeleno lexicon. One that has drawn some of the the best taste makers, restaurants and bars in the country.

We took some people we call friends and went for a ride through the streets of the city. We started out at Ugly Bros U.S. headquarters and rolled out from there. Here are some of the scenes of DTLA.
